Expert Answer

Water in a dog’s eyes occasionally causes little harm; if the source is dirty, rinse with clean water or eye wash to avoid bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Water can cause discomfort with blinking, tearing, redness, and eyelid twitching, and the dog may paw the eye; if uncontrolled this can cause conjunctivitis or corneal injury. If pawing occurs, fit an Elizabethan collar.
